This is our first time working with Love Ghost.

Founded by vocalist-guitarist&nbsp;<strong>Finnegan Bell<\/strong>, the band quickly garnered attention for their mature lyrics, a multitude of collaborations and raw, energetic sound. They have toured extensively all over the world and have earned plaudits from such publications as Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, American Songwriter and New Noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I met Tim Skold and his wife Erin on Halloween night at the Viper Room in Los Angeles. I was a massive fan of Skold, and I was surprised to see him there. I asked him if I could take a picture with him and was very excited when he said yes. To my surprise, Erin and him reached out about the possibility of us making music together. I was ecstatic about the opportunity. We have an electric synergy together, and Skold\u2019s wisdom and creativity really pushed me to my fullest artistic potential. Creating the album with Skold, was a unique and magical experience,&#8221; says&nbsp;<strong>Finnegan Bell.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tim Skold<\/strong>&nbsp;adds, &#8220;I still remember meeting Finn the first time because of his almost electric energy but it was my wife Erin\u2019s idea that he and I should make music together. I have worked with many different artists by now but this one is still a unique and refreshing experience. We came together with a special chemistry and I really feel that it is well represented in the music. The first single &#8216;Nightshade and Cocaine&#8217; shows off an almost schizophrenic diversity that is a thread for the entire album.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of August 28, the &#8216;Nightshade and Cocaine&#8217; single will be available\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ingrv.es\/night-shade-and-coca-rd2-f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>everywhere digitally<\/strong><\/a>, including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/loveghostxskold.bandcamp.com\/album\/nightshade-and-cocaine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Bandcamp<\/strong><\/a>, where it can already be pre-ordered.\u00a0The full &#8216;Love Ghost and SKOLD&#8217; album will be released\u00a0on November 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALBUM CREDITS<\/strong><br>All songs written and performed by Finnegan Seeker Bell &amp; Tim Skold,<br>Except for \u2018Payback\u2019 &#8211; Written by Finnegan Seeker Bell, Tim Skold &amp; Daniel Matias Alcala<br>Produced by Tim Skold<br>Additional Production by Daniel Matias Alcala &#8211; tracks 03, 05, 11<br>Additional Production by Corin Batchler &#8211; all other tracks<br>Recorded at Seeker Studios (Glendale, CA) &amp; The Una-Bomber Shack (Studio City, CA)<br>Mastered by Tim Skold<br>Intro features the voice of Jeff Daniel Phillips<br>Cover artwork by Tim Skold<br>Released by Metropolis Records<br>Artist photos by<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jimlouvau\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Jim Louvau<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a><br>Publicity by&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shamelesspromotionpr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shameless Promotion PR<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep up with Love Ghost<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/loveghost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Website<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/loveghost.official\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/loveghost_official\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LoveGhost_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter&nbsp;<\/a>|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/LoveGhost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/7oYWWttOyiltgT19mfoUWi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/artist\/love-ghost\/345566313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Music<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:contact@shamelesspromotionpr.com\">Press contact<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Keep up with SKOLD<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/skold.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Website<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/skold.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/skoldofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tim_skold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/skoldofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/71Yh3iYxx17VectgWOMvUr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/artist\/skold\/420655008\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Music<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Keep up with Metropolis Records<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metropolis-records.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Website<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/metropolisrecords.bandcamp.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bandcamp<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MetropolisRecords\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MetropolisRec\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/metropolisrecords\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC53qwBKvbJzXp3n89MaJaqw\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo Credit: photo by Jim Louvau Iconic US-based label\u00a0Metropolis Records\u00a0is pleased to announce the\u00a0signing\u00a0of\u00a0Love Ghost x SKOLD\u00a0for their debut eponymous album, scheduled for release on November 22.
